Frank Wucinski appeared with his three-year-old daughter Annabelle on America’s Newsroom on Friday morning, Feb. 28.
The family was quarantined in San Diego.
They had just been released.
Wucinski said he was in Wuhan.
Wucinski’s father-in-law had died in China from Covid-19.
The family returned to California during the height of the outbreak.
As they were in contact with Wucinski’s father-in-law, the family was placed in isolation when they landed in California.
“Fortunately from what I understand,” Wucinski said as he coughed into his hand before continuing, “it is contagious but the death rate is pretty low.”
He coughed another time before saying, “Yeah, I understand the fear.”
To his credit, he lasted more than four minutes without coughing.
The coughing fit came in the last minute of the interview.
Wucinski also said the Center for Disease Control had suggested the family stay in isolation for longer when his daughter coughed in front of medical staff.
But Wucinski said his family is fine now: “All the tests came back negative.”
He assured the Fox hosts that he had been tested twice for the virus.
The results came back negative both times.
Towards the end of the segment, the father took a sip from his daughter’s water bottle, which she then put back again into her mouth.
“The cough, probably just nerves,” Wucinski said.
He had said earlier during the interview: “Physically we’re great.”
The two hosts appeared understanding and wished Wucinski and his family the best.
